AVID This I Believe

This I Believe Essay Requirements
  • Focused on Andrews.
  • If it addresses a problem, you focus on possible solutions.
  • If it is more positive, you focus on how we can get better.
  • Include a minimum of 3 supporting details/examples to support your claim.
  • Keep it interesting.
  • 1 page requirement, Times New Roman 12 pt.
This is going to be the FIRST PAGE of your Senior Legacy Book -- it will be the first thing that your audience sees and it will set the tone for your whole book.

Year By Year Outline
  • For each year, I want you to list at least 5 topics that you will address.
  • These can be focused on academic life, social life, college prep life, etc.
  • REMEMBER -- you are an AVID senior ... you should incorporate an AVID strategy for each year! It doesn't have to be as AVID-aligned as WICOR or Cornell Notes, but it has to have a college focus.

English 10 Review

Complete the review (CLICK HERE) by opening a word document and typing your answers. Yes, the released answers are at the bottom. HOWEVER, I do not want you to use the answers -- I want you to take this opportunity to challenge yourself and get some review.

If you show me that you completed the review and you didn't cheat, I will give you a free 100% quiz grade. I must check you off for completion in order for you to receive credit. You cannot talk.

When you are done, you can spend your time catching up on missing assignments OR if your grade is an A, you can play games. You must get permission from me in order to play games. Do not play me.
